- I was responsible for player sign-up (writing their last name and team on a master list)
- Both Contests had three rounds, I had to count the points scored.
- For the 3-Point: They had 15 shots total, 5 from 3 locations on the 3-point arc, made within 1min. The first 4 at each location were worth 1pt the 5th worth 2pts. Round 1 had 20 players, Round 2 had 5, Round 3- 2.
- For the Free Throw: The first round consisted of 20 free throws, the second 30, and the final 50. Round 1 had 20 players, Round 2 had 4, Round 3- 2.
- It was fun and stressful at the same time because I knew I was in charge of the scoring, and if I missed one, that could cause a player to be out.
I had mentioned previously that I have been placed in charge of the Easter Events. This past week the majority of my order came in. I am missing a box of eggs, and a box of novelty toys, if they don't come in soon I will have to call the company. I also realized I need to order bags for the children to collect the eggs with, so that will be done as soon as I can get another purchase order from the budget department. Luckily I am friends with the Morale Committee due to meetings and the Snow/Ski trip, and a few of the members have offered their students as volunteers for basket stuffing, egg hiding, and I even have an Easter Bunny!I want to revisit a previous blog prompt:
Have you experienced conflict with a co-worker or employee? Have you witnessed conflict? How did you handle this and what would you do different next time? What did you learn about employee relations from this experience?
This past Wednesday we had a MWRMT meeting, the topic of the meeting was to revisit the mission and vision statement of the MWR, as well as create new guidelines for how the meetings should be conducted. Every time I would make a comment, or add input to the discussion, one guy would make belittling comments towards me. Instead of confronting him directly and making a huge scene during the meeting, when it was my turn to add an idea for the guidelines I said: "To not make hostile comments, or rash decisions because of feelings." Then the next person added: "Do not make derogatory comments towards others." Needless to say after the meeting a few of the other team members came up to me and said I did a good job of sticking up for myself, and mentioned that he is like that a lot. I don't like people who are so prideful that when their idea isn't the one accepted they simply won't accept anyone else's and do their best to tear it apart.
I better get to bed, I haven't been feeling well lately... hopefully I can keep from getting completely sick.
Everything you are doing sounds like such a great experince and unique learning opportunities also! I am sure you are feeling the budget cuts as you had mentioned in my post. Are they limiting the events or are they allocating the money differently?
ReplyDeleteThe money is definitely being allocated differently... such as the Easter Event. I was talking to a resident today actually asking if we were going to be doing the face-painting, coloring contests, and special trivia games at the Easter event as we had in previous years. Number 1- I had no idea they had previously done all of that. Number 2- I had to break the news that our budget was too small this year and we could only offer the children Easter Baskets, Photos with the Easter Bunny, Breakfast, and an Egg Hunt.
